Fun Mac OS X Screenshots

I spent the majority of Monday night cleaning up my hardrive, my email, my server space, and my iDisk. During this cleanup I saw some interesting (and in my mind funny) things…I just had to take a screenshot. Enjoy. The first screenshot is from my Mail.app. Someone had sent me an html email that contained […]

Oregon Trail Goodness

Oregon Trail is one of my favorite games of all times. As I was watching RocketBoom on Monday (brought to me by my TiVo), I had to laugh when I saw Amanda’s shirt “You have died of dysentery” because I absolutely loved it. As a die hard fan, who still plugs in my Apple IIgs […]

CSS Hints HOWTOs Web Development

troubleshooting/debugging css.

After spending fourteen hours this weekend working on CSS for a project (99% positioning), I thought I should write something about troubleshooting and debugging common problems I usually run into in hopes it can save others a few minutes/hours/frustration.

After months of waiting, Apple announced the MacBook in both white and black. As soon as I saw the black, I flashed back to my beloved Pismo. I will be taking a trip to one of the local Apple Stores to check these out in the next few days because I am curious about the […]
